Yeah, and if we can reuse more of ref-filter.c machinery (which was factored out of for-each-ref and tag you suggested borrows from), that would be even better. In the context of ls-remote, however, we cannot inspect the object (we typically do not have them yet), so it may not be practical, but I agree with your suggestion---we should match the behaviour at the UI level at least when we can.
